Reviews of As I Am Ubud Retreat 4 stars

Very calm and relaxing location in the ricefields only 10 minutes by foot away from the city center, delicious breakfast and amazing free yoga classes, clean room

The Hotel lies in a car-free zone and the staff is going to pick you up with scooters nearby and unfortunately they don’t always have helmets…

The accommodation is in a quiet and beautiful location with a clean pool and well-kept rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always willing to assist even carried our luggage up to the property since it’s in a car-free zone. Breakfast is chosen from a menu of about 10 options so there’s something for everyone.

There was a lack of storage space for our belongings in the room and bathroom.

So beautiful! Great location, loved the pool and free yoga

Very noisy, lots of roosters and nearby scooters woke us up early.

I loved the location and the quiet. The rice field walk nearby was beautiful. Very friendly staff and so convenient having breakfast included. The free yoga classes were a bonus too. Air con worked well so had a comfortable sleep without mosquitoes.

The room was a bit dark as had to have curtains closed for privacy but I was hardly there most days so it didn’t really bother me.

It’s a really peaceful spot. We availed of their free yoga at 7.30am and it was amazing. The pool is also so calm and beautiful. It’s a short walk from the busy centre of Ubud but it’s so quiet and peaceful you’d think you were further away. The breakfasts were so nice each morning and the staff were very helpful. We wanted to extend our stay but unfortunately they were fully booked.

Very clean. Available good WiFi, good breakfast, good lunch / dinner. Very friendly staff. Amenities available in the bathroom, hair drier present. Room and whole place was newly finished and furnished, it had a feeling of clean and new. Very good price.

Meh. Nothing really outstanding to complain. Car access would have been appreciated instead of limited to scooters or walking. But just 10 min walk and you’re in the busy city center. A little TV would have been useful to give some extra atmosphere.

What a pleasure to stay here when in Ubud. There were so many staff members always there to help for anything We needed! The setting was surreal, amongst the Jungle coconut trees and within the Rice field area. It was a 7-10 minute walk from the crazy town centre. If you don’t stay in an area like this you can’t truly get a feel for what it’s all about! We passed some amazing places on our walks. The Sweet Orange Walking Trail is rights beside ‘As I Am’ and we’ve never seen a place like this before. There was Yoga every morning F.O.C for guests but We only made it twice (it’s a relaxing workout). Breakfast was beautiful. The swimming pool was perfect. Rooms were spotlessly clean. You also get a chance to support the locals in their little businesses when staying in these areas. Another thing that surprised us was the very few mosquito bites. Use repellent regularly and you’ll be ok. Our top tips: - Have smaller notes for tipping. Prices are so good for us westerners tipping is greatly appreciated. - Stay in Tranquil areas like ‘As I Am’ - Don’t haggle vendors to the point they aren’t making profit - Eat Indonesian cuisine, especially in the smaller places - If the forecast is for rain, carry an umbrella - learn a few basic Indonesian words - Enjoy massages in the many local Spa’s Terima Kasih to everyone at As I Am. We will 100% be back on our next visit to Bali! ❤️

Nothing…

You could walk to Ubud and escape back up the hill for peace and tranquility. Yoga at 7.30 each morning, close to a great massage place. Staff were lovely and accommodating

No kettle in room which we missed being able to make a cuppa No TV which normally wouldn’t matter but it was raining and could have been used Access restricted so needed to come and go on motorcycles ( if you didn’t want to walk) and we weren’t insured for that Wouldn’t have been an issue but weather was inclement . We assumed as it was called a retreat their would have been more available options on site and meal options were limited if staying for more than a few days

I totally recommend this place! We had an amazing stay. The hotel is located just a 5–10 minute walk from Ubud city center, which means it is perfectly peaceful while still being conveniently close to everything. We also found the place to be very welcoming and cozy, as it is a small hotel with just a few rooms and the staff is absolutely lovely and always happy to help.

Yoga class in the morning and the a la carte breakfast is super good. Bed is comfy, staff super friendly. Location is calm and still within 10 mins by foot you're in the middle of Ubud with many shopping and food options. Surprisingly we didn't see one mosquito.

The rooms I thought would look a little different though. You can't see the rice fields from anywhere in the resort.

The people are very nice and helpful. The breakfast is freshly made and we can't emphasize enough that the staff is truly amazing.

The location, it is quite a walk up a hill and that makes it very challenging. Also the sheets were not clean and ants were in abundance. We did not expect that when going to the toilet, you can't flush paper after going to the toilet. This all resulted in us booking another hotel. Be also aware that cars can't go to the location so they will pick you up with scooters.

Very calm environment. Very peaceful. Breakfast was not bad.

General cleanliness was a little bit below my expectation.

Friendly and nice staff. Great, calm area in the green. Good yoga classes.

The music at the front desk could be a bit less loud. Especially in the morning. Maybe a change of the playlist would work also
